IPDB In this model, the short backbox has a mirrored backglass along its entire front. The center of the backglass shows a white translucent window upon which the total free plays (replays) are projected from within the backbox for the player to see. Above this window is the word 'Monte' and below it is the word 'Carlo'. On the left side of the glass is a round window painted 'Start' and on the right side is a round window painted 'Finish'. Both round windows light from within. The flipperless playfield is polished metal and has spring bumpers. The lower apron is two-tone wood, alternating light and dark in a radiating pattern. The front of the cabinet has no coin door or other opening, and no place to insert coins. It does have a metal ball lift knob and metal ball shooter. A coin drop may be located on the cabinet side, but no side view images were made available to us to confirm this. These images did not allow us to determine if this game was made with legs. Included with the game were three paper chits or tickets, each printed with these words: Billard Electrique MONTE CARLO Bon pour 1 LOT The ticket could be redeemed for a choice of prizes of a certain value, or redeemed in quantity for a prize of higher value. We have seen modified examples where two bottom spring bumpers were replaced with short white Gottlieb-style flippers and, in one instance of this, the cabinet was encased in black and turquoise plastic. All examples of this game that we have seen were located in France. Compare this game to Unknown Manufacturer's 'Monte Carlo (Cylinder Backbox Model)'. used
